As Featured in Southwark News: Our Founder’s Inspiring Journey from Banking to Boxing

We are excited to announce that Fight City Gym and our founder, Mani Johal, have been featured in Southwark News! The article highlights Mani’s courageous decision to leave a successful banking career to pursue his passion for boxing and community building. By taking a significant pay cut, Mani shifted his focus from finance to fitness, creating a thriving gym environment that emphasises skill, confidence, and community engagement.

Mani’s journey echoes what we want Fight City Gym to be about; taking a risk and reaping the rewards. Whether that’s stepping into the ring or simply working towards a better you, we have managed, with the help of our incredible coaches and members, to create an atmosphere and environment that encourages people to chase their goals and do the unexpected.

In light of this, the article also touches on the personal stories of members whose lives have been positively changed through their engagement with the gym. We are proud of the community we’ve built and continue to build. Whether you have been here for a few weeks or multiple years, you are part of the combined story here at Fight City and we just wanted to say thank you for your continued support.

We are also grateful for the recognition from Southwark News. Read more about our story and the difference we’re making here in the full article.
